Lucky Strike Expects to Commence 1,500 m Due Diligence Drilling

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 07/26/11 -- Lucky Strike Resources Ltd. ('Lucky Strike' or the 'Company') (TSX VENTURE: LKY) has received three bids from drilling companies in Mongolia to perform a 1,500 m due diligence drilling on the CN Coal Properties, and expects to commence due diligence drilling in August 2011. This announcement is further to the Company's news release dated July 11, 2011, in which Lucky Strike announced that it has signed definitive agreements to acquire an 80 percent interest in the CN Coal Properties subject to the completion of legal and technical due diligence and acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.

The 1,500 m drilling program forms part of the technical due diligence to twin drill holes and to carry out a limited number of step-out holes to test the potential of the summary table of coal inventory titled 'Mongolian Coal Basins and Deposits', in a document referenced by Norwest Corporation as stated in our July 18, 2011, news release, stating the potential coal tonnage within and surrounding the CN Coal Properties, including licensed and non-licensed areas in the vicinity, is estimated to contain Mongolian P1 resources of 232 million tonnes, P2 resources of 1,017.9 million tonnes and P3 resources of 271.4 million tonnes for a total of 1.52 billion tonnes historical resource. A qualified person has not done sufficient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources; the Company is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources and the historical estimate should not be relied upon.

The Company expects to commence due diligence drilling in August 2011. In addition to drilling, the technical work will include downhole wireline logging and a magnetic ground survey. The award of the work will be subsequent to the review of the bids from the three bidders and the assurance of quality assurance/ quality control (QA/QC) of the bidder's drilling capabilities in accordance with National Instrument (NI) 43-101. In addition, Lucky Strike and its technical consultants will outline the sampling procedures and review the assay laboratories in Ulaanbaatar in preparation to receiving samples from the due diligence drilling work.

Edwin Ullmer, P. Geo., a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and an independent consultant of the Company, has read and approved the technical and scientific information contained in this news release.
